The Worku is a hand loomed Ethiopian cotton halter top — featherweight, playful, and finished with the kind of detail that makes a simple summer piece feel unique. Cut in a slim upper with a subtle peplum at the hem, Worku is handcrafted from fine hand spun cotton in a natural crinkle gauze and gentle stretch that moves effortlessly. 

The adjustable braided ties at the neckline let you set the neck drop exactly where you want it. light gold-plated brass tips at the tie ends and a hand-twisted eyelash fringe add quiet artisanal luxury from collar to hem.

Hand loomed in Ethiopia by women artisans, designed and made to order in New York. No inventory, no waste.

Style the Worku with the Maaza skirt for a striking 2 piece set.
